This week, I will be examining the history of censorship and the banning of books in America as we kick off Banned Books Week. The 80's was a particularly difficult time for authors in America, with record numbers of challenges being made across a wider range of book topics. Join me as I examine the roots of book banning in America as well as some of the most challenged books and why they are always under fire.
